Contextual Overview

1 The Word of the Lord came to me on the tenth day of the tenth month in the ninth year, saying, 2 "Son of man, put down in writing this day, this very day. The king of Babylon has shut Jerusalem in with his army this very day. 3 And tell a picture-story to these sinful people of Israel. Tell them, ‘The Lord God says, "Put the pot on the fire. Put it on, and pour water in it. 4 Put all the good pieces of meat in it, the thigh, the shoulder. And fill it with the best bones. 5 Take the best of the flock. Put more and more wood under the pot to make it boil, and boil the bones in it." 6 'For the Lord God says, "It is bad for the city of blood, for the rusted pot whose rust has not been cleaned out of it! Take the pieces of meat out of it without choosing them. 7 For the blood of the city has been poured on the rock. It was not poured on the ground where the dust would cover it. 8 I have put the blood on the rock where it could not be covered, so that it would cause anger and punishment." 9 So the Lord God says, "It is bad for the city of blood! I will put much wood on the fire. 10 Put on more and more wood, and make the fire burn. Boil the meat well. Mix in the spices, and let the bones be burned up.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance,.... Into the heart and mind of God, into his face, speaking after the manner of men; observing such gross and open wickedness, he determined within himself to show his resentment, manifest his wrath and displeasure, and take vengeance on such capital and impudent offenders:

I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it might not be covered; by way of just retaliation; that as her sin was publicly committed, and no repentance shown for it, so her punishment should be open and manifest to all the world, and no forgiveness should be granted her. The Targum is,

"I have revealed their sins, because they have shed innocent blood openly, that it might not be forgiven.''

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The top of a rock - The blood was poured upon a naked, dry, rock where it could not be absorbed or unnoticed.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 24:8. That it might cause fury — This very blood shall be against them, as the blood of Abel was against Cain.
